Comments on: U.S. To Shoot Down Spy Satellite

Citing Risk To Human Lives, Bush Orders Navy To Fire Missile At Broken Earthbound Satellite

I have a friend in Iran who wants to know where the satelite debris is going to fall. He told me he''s got a group of people ready to help him retrieve as much of the satellite as possible.
They just want to use it for decoration, he says. Can anyone help that good man find out where it will fall?
Thank you.

I wonder if we could get someone in DC to talk Georgiegirl into showing us all his impression of Slim Pickens in Dr.Strangelove...

This ought to show all of you Clinton fans that Hillary doesn''t care.If she''d just fly up there on her broom,and knock the thing off course,it would save us all a bunch of money.

Shouldn''t this headline read, US To Shoot Down ITS OWN Spy Satellite?

That is of course if it doesn''t kill me.:)

I am going to come down there and kick some a-s-s if it crashes near me!

"...you could put your Conspiracy theory to rest."

This is doubting the intelligence agency''s official version of a story, when it does not make full sense, and looking for more plausible explanations.

That is not a "conspiracy theory." In fact, it is pretty much the opposite--the conspiracy theory is the unlikely far-fetched one. That describes the official version in this case.

Just when I think George can''''t be any more full of sh*t, he always proves me wrong. This has nothing at all to do with saving human lives. George isn''''t about saving lives. This has everything to do with whats on that spy satellite and little George would rather it be blown to tiny bits that have it fall into someone else''''s hands. I''''d bet that if it was some sort of Dish network satellite that was crashing to the Earth, George wouldn''''t have it shot down to save lives.

NO *** ! ! ! You mean that the U.S. would rather shoot down a spy satellite then let it fall into the wrong hands???? How long did it take you to figure that out? You should consider a job with the CIA. But I guess he could let it drop out of the sky with a chance to harm people that way you could put your Conspiracy theory to rest.

Perhaps they could arrange to have it land on Cheney. That would brighten my day.

Shooting the satellite down isn''t about protecting people, it''s about keeping it''s secrets from Russia and China.
